Daniel spent last Monday chillaxing in a shopping cart at Target. Isn't that what we all wish we could do on our birthday?For his birthday cake, he requested a "doggie cake". Thanks to my mom, who recently found her 1973 copy of Baker's Cut-Up Cake Party Book and bequeathed it to me, I was able to make him the "Woofy Dog" cake. Then Daniel dressed up in his new firefighter gear.

We hope you had a great birthday, little guy! We love you and thank God for the past two years of your life!

Who Are the 500 Babies?

The 500 Babies are the children God has graciously blessed us with through the miracle of adoption. We adopted Joseph and Daniel in August 2008 and Mikea in June 2009. We adopted Adrian in December of 2010 and in June of 2011 we made Rebekah a permanent member of our family. (She was born at 28 weeks gestation, weighing only 2 lbs.) Last July we were thrilled to welcome our sixth child to our family: Baby Katherine. We are currently fostering her and hope to adopt later this year. Join me as I chronicle the ups, downs, and in-betweens of life with a houseful of little blessings!
